Chairperson Levine requested further information on staff's views for retail. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained staff received mixed reviews for large <br />format retail and vertical mixed use. The unresolved question that remains is what the market <br />would support in Ramsey for these two types of retail. He described how the river constricted <br />the market area. <br />Commissioner VanScoy suggested staff contact retail experts in order to address the needs for the <br />City. He questioned when staff was proposing to hold a roundtable discussion. <br />Commissioner Bauer was anxious to get retail providers into the City of Ramsey and encouraged <br />staff to hear from all voices in the community as to what retailers could be supported. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill anticipated the roundtable discussion would be held <br />in the coming months in order to provide staff with direction on the policy framework. <br />Chairperson Levine supported the proposed direction of staff and recommended a roundtable <br />discussion be held in the coming months. <br />6.
